Dr. Adam Hamoway has seen things most politicians never will — combat in Iraq, the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, and a broken American healthcare system up close. Now he's running for Congress in New Jersey. In this interview with retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones the veteran and surgeon opens up about how witnessing war firsthand shaped his convictions on U.S. foreign policy, why he believes defense contractors are driving American military decisions, and what real healthcare reform actually looks like.

Ken Harbaugh breaks down the Trump administration's escalating war with Iran — from Pete Hegseth's "boots on the ground" threat to the White House's release of what Ken calls outright war porn: a montage of movie clips and actual gun camera footage designed to make killing look like entertainment. Senator Andy Kim, former senior advisor to General Petraeus and NSC veteran, joins Ken to bring hard-won perspective on what it means when leaders treat war like a game.

Ken Harbaugh examines the disturbing convergence of war profiteering and prediction markets, tracing a line from Eisenhower's military-industrial complex warning to the betting markets that cashed in on the U.S. strikes against Iran. In Part 2 of his conversation with Army combat veteran and Veterans Fighting Fascism founder Kris Goldsmith, Ken explores the moral divide between those who bear the cost of America's wars and those who profit from them.

It is day 5 of America's war with Iran, and Donald Trump has invented yet another rationale for the attack — "election interference." A leaked 17-page blueprint, authored by close associates of the President, reveals how foreign threats will be used as a pretext for seizing control of U.S. elections, exactly as former Congressman Denver Riggleman warned in The Breach.

Ken Harbaugh makes the case that even though this war was thrust upon us by the most reckless administration in American history, it is America's war — and Americans bear responsibility for demanding a Congress that reins in a rogue presidency. Ken is joined by Ambassador Bridget Brink, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine and now congressional candidate in Michigan's 7th district, to discuss why war, civil rights, and government accountability are the real kitchen table issues.

Ken Harbaugh examines a defining moment from Trump’s State of the Union that signals a looming constitutional crisis, as tensions between the executive branch and the Supreme Court escalate.

Ken Harbaugh breaks down a startling incident in which the Danish military evacuated an American sailor from a U.S. submarine near Greenland, exposing both the realities of allied cooperation and the costs of political brinkmanship. He examines how Denmark’s actions stand in stark contrast to escalating tensions driven by misleading claims about U.S. intentions in Greenland—and what it reveals about the state of NATO alliances.

Retired Navy Commander Bobby Jones analyzes Pete Hegseth’s decision to halt the placement of senior military officers at Ivy League institutions — and explains why the move could have long-term consequences for U.S. national security. America’s military dominance has always relied on both strength and ideas. The question is whether this decision undermines both.

Ken Harbaugh breaks down CBS pulling The Late Show interview with James Talarico and why growing pressure from Trump-aligned regulators is fueling media self-censorship. He’s joined by civil resistance expert Maria Stephan to explain why that pressure reflects something deeper—a rising, decentralized resistance that authoritarian movements can’t control.

Bobby Jones breaks down a major federal court ruling that could reshape the debate over “lawfare” in America and how Veterans are allowed to express themselves.
A U.S. District Court judge granted Senator Mark Kelly a preliminary injunction against the Department of Defense in Kelly v. Hegseth, finding he is likely to succeed on his First Amendment retaliation claim. The ruling halted Pentagon actions tied directly to Kelly’s public criticism of military policy — including a Secretarial Letter of Censure, a retirement grade review that could reduce rank and pay, and threats of further enforcement. When government power intersects with political speech, the First Amendment is tested. And this week, the judiciary reminded the executive branch that the Constitution still applies.

In this video, Atlanta native Bobby Jones break down the facts, the motivations, and the potential consequences.
